because i say so
i choose not to listen
i will follow a path i make for myself
i will not bring with me
anyone else for my despair
i will not make someone else
accountable to me. i will not place
so heavy and slippery a burden on him or her
i will be responsible for my actions and my words.
there is no one else like me
and i appreciate suggestions
of all kinds.
if this be a date with despair
at least it is a tryst i have made for myself.
it is a mistake i have made for myself.
